Driving along a boring stretch of interstate in Illinois, you start experimenting using the average speed equation you learned i

n class. You drive 29 meters per second for 120s, then 35 meters per second for 300s. Then you entertain yourself by determining your average speed during those time intervals. What is your average speed for the experiment?

The average speed would be 33.29m/s.
The average speed equation is:

Average speed =  \frac{total distance}{total time}

First you will need to solve for the distance you traveled in each scenario. So we can solve this by getting the product of speed and the time traveled. 

Scenario 1:
Speed = 29m/s
Time = 120s
Distance = ?

Distance = (29m/s)(120s)
               = 3,480m

Scenario 2
Speed = 35m/s
Time = 300s
Distance = ? 

Distance = (35m/s)(300s)
               = 10,500m

Now that you have the distance of both, you can solve for your average speed. 

Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}
                                = \frac{3,480m+10,500m}{120s+300s}
                                = \frac{13,980m}{420s}
                                = 33.29m/s

(a) What is the intensity in W/m2 of a laser beam used to burn away cancerous tissue that, when 90.0% absorbed, puts 500 J of en
inysia [295]

Answer:

4.42 x 10⁷ W/m²

Explanation:

A = energy absorbed = 500 J

η = efficiency = 0.90

E = Total energy

Total energy is given as

E = A/η

E = 500/0.90

E = 555.55 J

t = time = 4.00 s

Power of the beam is given as

P = E /t

P = 555.55/4.00

P = 138.88 Watt

d = diameter of the circular spot = 2.00 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the circular spot is given as

A = (0.25) πd²

A = (0.25) (3.14) (2 x 10⁻³)²

A = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

Intensity of the beam is given as

I = P /A

I = 138.88 / (3.14 x 10⁻⁶)

I = 4.42 x 10⁷ W/m²

Answer:

A ball hits the ground and the ground pushes up on it

Explanation:

Newton's third law basically states that for every action, there's a reaction.

a ball hitting the ground would be the action. the ground pushing up on it with the same force is the reaction.

Hope this Helps!!! :)
